As a personal trainer I see people struggle with this all the time. They get excited about a new goal and a new challenge. Then…

Something in their life has boosted their motivation and they are excited and ready to get started or achieve a new goal. But eventually that motivation will fade or some days that motivation won’t be there. Now what?

They really want to lose some weight and have a great nutrition plan to follow. But eventually something in their life changes or stressful work days add up and they struggle with a very restrictive diet. Now what?

They really want to gain strength and lean muscle mass so they have a great workout plan to follow. But eventually they get a little extra sore, travel, or have a minor injury. Now what?

If you are truly making life long changes these are inevitable. This is when consistency, discipline, and professionals with experience can progress you through those down moments. Fitness professionals should be able to not only help you during those inevitable road blocks but also teach you different ways that work best for you and your life.
